Ladi6 chose a small island escape over 300 guests for her wedding day.
The singer, real name Karoline Tamati, married long time partner Brent Park, aka Parks, after 12 years together in a simple ceremony on a Samoan beach.
A Woman's Weekly article reveals the pressure of planning a huge wedding simply became too much for the pair, who live and work together.
With Parks showing little interest in preparations, the 33-year-old Kiwi singer feared she would be left to cope with table plans for a 300-strong guest list, as well as catering and decorations.
